The reason why a thread for American politics is not happening is because it would be pointed as a briar patch.

Trump threatens to pull $1B from UK if he's banned
Think it was a black guy who responded to him as money intelligence, months ago, on twitter?

Countdown is on for 24 January!
The candidatures for the next presidential election in Portugal have been closed and radio/television debates have already started, so here's the list of the candidates:
Henrique Neto, independent, former deputy for the PS (Socialist Party). Is the oldest of all candidates.
Sampaio da Nóvoa, former dean of the university of Lisbon (Universidade de Lisboa); With the support of Livre (0,7% in Legislative Elections 2015) and PCTP/MRPP (1,13%)
Cândido Ferreira, independent, former PS deputy.
Edgar Silva with the support of the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP)
Jorge Sequeira, independent, university professor.
Vitorino Silva (aka Tino de Rans), independent, former president of the parish of Rans in northern Portugal, paver and reality-show personality.
Marisa Matias, supported by the Left Bloc (Bloco de Esquerda) and MAS, Eurodeputy for the Left Bloc.
Maria de Belém, independent, former minister of Health (1995-99) and former minister of Equality (99-2000), former deputy of Socialist Party
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, with the support of PSD and CDS both right-parties, university teacher and former president of PSD (1996-99)
Paulo Morais, independent, vice-president of TAIC (association against corruption) and former vice-president of the municipality of Porto (2002-2005)
According to the polls Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa is the most likely to win the elections (perhaps even in the first round), however a second round is possible to happen with either Maria de Belém or Sampaio da Nóvoa, but the real debate only began this week and so polls are more likely to change (at least slightly) in the upcoming days.

One of the solution people can do is trade politician from different country. Say bring president and possibly vice president from Portugal to the US and deport ours to theirs. It doesn't matter if they're repubic hair or a demo on the shelf. Kind-of-like wife swap for a week but for 2 yrs.

...following the Wife Swap formula, the match-ups would be polar opposites.
How would you feel about Ali Khamenei for two years?

How bad can it be? They're foreigner so congress can always bicker on that citizen subject all 2 yrs long and they're illiterate so they can't do much damage to the country or foreign policy, thus world peace. America can do all damage on their own on national policy as usual. Its the veteran politician that we should be worried about. They get best healthcare and makes millions for nothing.
As for Ali Khamenei, its even better. He won't attack Iran and Iran won't attack America since he's in the country. Heck, bring all his family over. We may have to kidnap them all to get 'em over here but if we all get mutual understanding, we'll get world peace.

The answer to the question, "How bad can it be?" is almost always, "Worse than you can imagine".

I hate that question. Makes me worry we're not going to get a Princess Leia figure.

Congratulations Marcelo Rubelo De Sousa, President of Portugal after 48.84% of the electorate cast their vote.
Was it just his celebrity-like status and media presence that saw him triumph over other candidates, especially the credible Marisa Matias?
Or will he temper his egotistical and self-aggrandising tendencies to bring stability to the various political forces in Portugal?
The world awaits with bated breath...

Is that platonic love on the mural in the background? Do politician kiss and tell? Hmmm....
